Chapter 206: The Night of the Enthronement (2)
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Akihabara is already full of people, and the surrounding vendors selling snacks can't stop.
Passionate game fans from Hokkaido in the north to Shikoku in the east have surrounded the area.
On the vast street, the slogans of the two flags are like two opposing kingdoms that can never be compromised.
At the entrance of each retail store, there are two huge posters, one of which is the well-known Mario brothers, as well as the great demon of Kuba, Princess Becky, with the big number 3 on it, even if it is not introduced, players all over the world can immediately call out its name.
The other, nothing!
It's not that it's blank, it's ...... There are no game images.
On a black poster, a girl in the form of a comic strip is so helpless in a dark and empty picture.
It has no name, no signboard, but now the whole of Japan knows that it could be a life.
She is somewhere, waiting for the salvation of everyone, and she may be the salvation of social conscience.
"Boss, has Sega's plane arrived?" From time to time, someone rushes into the retail store and asks eagerly, "It's already six o'clock!" It's been 10 hours since we arrived in Tokyo in the morning! ”
Listening to that Kansai accent, the boss sighed and shook his head: "Classmate, ...... today All retail stores do not have level Mario and Sega games, to buy, you can only go to their home turf. ”
When the three people who came in heard it, they wailed, "Where can I get in...... I thought we were the first to come, but by three o'clock, it was already full of people. ”
A similar situation is born in countless stores from all over Japan, Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Sapporo, Kagoshima, Kagawa...... Young people from all over Japan rushed here with their fiery hearts.
Unlike game sales, the atmosphere here is not pleasant, even with a kind of heaviness.
They know that there's something in this game, something that's getting less and less in society right now.
A life of a man and a company, Nintendo did not hesitate to choose the latter, they want to beat their competitors to the ground.
The Qin Dynasty chose the former, and they won the hearts and minds of the people.
Nintendo showed a hint of cowardice, but only a hint, and then, immediately finalized the sale at the same time!
In the vast flow of people in Akihabara, the police shuttled through the crowd like bees, and this time the flow of people was twice or three times more than in July!
In July, they bought games, and in December, they came to buy their conscience.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat......" In the center of Akihabara, in the Nintendo Zone, Capcom President Kenzo Tsujimoto looked at the flow of people who couldn't see the end at all, and sighed: "This sentence, how close to the current situation......"
His gaze fell on the largest group of people in the crowd.
This group of people came in an organized group, and they all wore a white headband with only two words on it.
Saitama!
This group of people, two or three hundred people, occupied the largest and closest place to the center of the crowd!
However, this center is the center of Sega, not the center of Nintendo!
They, like escorts, stood around the billboards of the Qin Dynasty, no one talked, and their faces were solemn.
"The people's aspirations......" Kensan Tsuji sighed: "This night...... Nintendo can only rely on the market share of Fc horror, after all, the price of md is not cheap, the console has always been hardware to lose money and software to make money, these two are the first party to pile up mountains of gold...... From the time the price was decided to be reduced, the gold yuan ...... had already begun to be thrown."
His gaze wandered, and finally fixed on the home field of the Qin Dynasty.
"Finally, this night...... Who can it achieve? ”
In the Sega area, last moon Jingzheng, Ishida Miyama also looked at the scene downstairs with a complicated face.
Despite the fact that it has been maintained by the police, it is almost as crowded as ants.
There was no end in sight, and around the corner of the building, they could see more people there, and then squeeze desperately into it.
These people are all the main buyers from fourteen to fifteen to thirty years old!
"The purpose of the propaganda is to cheat money out of the pockets of players." After a long time, his voice spoke a little woodenly: "But...... Qin Dynasty...... They actually managed to make the player pay voluntarily......"
"How many games like this have been in the entire history of gaming?"
"We count Contra as one, last year's Nintendo's Legend of Zelda counted as one, and level Mario needless to say, now ...... There is another Qin Dynasty......"
"He spent more than a year...... I have followed the path of other companies for a few years......"
A feeling of heroic twilight came out of his heart, and was quickly covered up by him, and he shook his head with emotion: "This reminds me of July...... I didn't expect it at all, and I was overturned by the Qin Dynasty......"
"We don't have to come." Ishida Miyama's face was expressionless, only there was another meaning in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he muttered.
"Even if this is a place of shame for Konami, today, who wouldn't come?" Kazuki Jingzheng smiled bitterly, pointed to a tall building not far away, and said: "There, Kenzo Tsujimoto, Nakamura Masaya, and other princes of the same level as us, although I can't see them, I know that they will definitely be there...... Certain...... With the best games in Japan in the world, no one will miss tonight's showdown. ”
"If Nintendo wins, he'll be even more aggressive. If the Qin Dynasty wins...... Even if we win one box, we really have a second choice! He turned his head, looked at Ishida Miyama and said, "MD sales, Japan can sell more than one million." How bleak it was, which made Sega's large amount of capital go down the drain, not to mention the black hole-like patent fees. The sales of Mario are undoubtedly more than one million, and what we are curious about is only a few million. ”
His gaze looked at the already dark sky again, even darker, but with a trace of strange silence of the crowd, and his voice was a little dry: "If Sega wins, it means that MD also has a market of millions, which is definitely worth considering by a third party." ”
He looked at Nintendo's tall building again: "This is the real reason why all the top third parties are gathered here tonight." Sega, Nintendo also understands this quite well, this is an invisible third-party battlefield, the Qin Dynasty as a guide/fuse, and finally ignited the feud between Sega and Nintendo. No one can afford to lose. ”
"Look...... This battle will be one that could rewrite the history of Japanese electronic entertainment. ”
"Yes...... The most glorious World War I in the history of electronic entertainment so far...... Win or lose! ”
Minute by minute, Akihabara has become the most densely populated city in Japan tonight.
Tokyo, shining for it, Japan, worried about it, caused this qiē, is a Chinese.
In the future, the history books of electronic entertainment will record this qiē in detail.
Win or lose!
Seven!
The flow of people has increased to a terrifying time, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department urgently called the nearby Gunma Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, and Kanagawa Prefecture to dispatch police officers.
No one knows that more than 300 police officers have been quietly invested here!
If one person can coordinate a crowd of fifty people, then Akihabara at this moment ......
Tens of thousands! Tens of thousands of players, or non-players, from cities, prefectures, and wards across Japan!
Akihabara was already overwhelmed, and at this moment, if you go to any store, you can see several people standing at the door, either anxious or calm.
7:59:50 seconds.
I don't know who started first, or if there was no organization, starting from the ground, and softly shouted: "Ten." ”
This voice, like a heart, spread to everyone present in a few tenths of a second.
"Nine."
When the second sound sounded, it was in the center, near the Sega and Nintendo districts, and there were hundreds of people.
Qin Yuanfeng stood in front of the window, Yu Suzuki and Hideki Okamura stood beside him, and the eyes of the three of them were like stars that had just emerged in the night sky, exuding dazzling brilliance.
"Qin Jun, no matter whether you win or lose, let us witness this night together."
"Eight!"
The third sound, there are already hundreds of people.
Everyone's face is cautious, not at all like buying a game, more like a ...... Seek a human comfort.
"Seven!"
Fourth, a thousand people shouted! Like the tide of the sea! A sound crashed into the night sky, as if to shout out a hole in the sky.
"Six!"
The voices of thousands of people, like a virus, spread from the center and infected everyone in the audience.
"A miraculous night...... It's about to kick off......"
The Sega Zone, the Nintendo Zone, are not far apart, but it is absolutely impossible to see each other from the distance between the two sides. And at this moment, Minoru Arakawa in front of the window seemed to see Qin Yuanfeng in another building. Qin Yuanfeng raised his head, as if he also saw the other party.
The two initiators of this epic battle, separated by a vast sea of people, seem to be close at hand.
"Victory!" In their hearts, the word was uttered almost at the same time.
"Five!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, countless hands were raised, and five fingers were stretched out, as if calling, as if waiting.
Waiting, the opening of this new era, waiting, the passion of this night, waiting, waiting for the salvation of one's own soul.
Waiting, this final carnival of the end of Christmas...... This time, from CES planting the seeds, until a few months later, a gorgeous bloom of Manzhu Sawa bloomed!
"Four!"
Genhiro Takeda, Hitohiro Mori, Gunhei Yokoi, Nobushi Hatano, Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoshi Iwata...... As if they were inspired, they stood on the third floor of the special area, and they all stood up and walked to the window, and no one said a word, and their eyes looked at the crowd below.
Once they start, they can immediately see what the situation is, the simplest of all, how long the queue is in each precinct, how many people are in the back, and they can immediately guess the situation of tonight's battle!
The Fc with a popularity of 60 million units in the world is the biggest confidence of the Ren family, and it is also the foundation for Mario to dare to face the hearts of the Japanese people!
They are Nintendo people, and they are the top ones. It's not a business, one loses, one wins, at this moment, all are ready to fight.
On the other side, Hideki Okamura, Yuji Naka, Yasuo Tabe, Yasutaka Sato, and Ichiro Irito...... Of all the directors of Sega, none of them could sit still, just like Qin Yuanfeng and Minoru Arakawa looked at each other in the air, and they also stood in front of the window.
No matter how stupid and wrong Sega is, it will never give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Three!"
The sound was almost deafening. Tens of thousands of people, each of whom just whispers a little, can form a frenzy that is enough to shake the entire Akihabara!
"Two!"
"One!"
On the first floor of Nintendo, an old man with his back combed and his head was already gray, stood up expressionlessly, and the people around him immediately came up to help him straighten his bow tie. His appearance was very ordinary, and his slightly slender face showed a look of dominating the world and giving up on me, so he casually dropped his crutches and walked to the door.
"Zero!"
